We did manage to waste a 2nd rounder on him.

Easy CC I agree, but for some reason Betts is more elusive off the field than he is on. Rock would be a better keep, but the underground rumblings from Redskin park say he's likely gone and Betts stays. What do i know?! JMHO. |

Depends on how Betts plays into things because Betts is a Snyder favorite because Snyder drafted him.
They don't want to cut Betts or it will make Snyder look again like a complete idiot for drafting the guy in the second round.
This team could put Rock in Betts place and not miss a beat. Plus Rock has heart and plays hard. Rock will end up showing Gibbs that he is a "Gibbs type" player.

i think theyll use him in obvious short yardage situations... he's just a hard runner and it shows that size isn't everything

I don't think he will play a down because I don't think he will be on the team. Too short, too small to be an effective H back. Too much depth at RB. I had him on my 53 man roster earlier, but now I don't think he will make it.

I agree with Keino. Rock's not even a major special teams player. I think he'll be here until the last cut but that will be it.

That sounds about right to me ... I think he'll play more if the unthinkable happens. |

Good poll. I chose five carries or less, simply because if any RB gets ten or more besides Portis, I think that will clearly be Betts.

He could be a third down or goal line back, sharing time with Betts. But I think they're gonna fight for that spot all season long, if one of them isn't cut during TC. My vote goes for 5 carries agame though, b/c I like this guy as much as Betts.

Tho I'd like to see Rock stay, reality check says he doesn't make it. There is enough talent in the backfield. ST might be a place for him, but I'm not sure he would settle for that and play at 100%. Hard words - but it's a fact - he might just ask to be cut so he could make another team with a greater need.

He will be off and on. He will have some good 40 yard games then some no carry games. But he will have a decent season

I voted the hardly at all option, btw, very good poll suject! I'd fully expect that if Gibbs goes with a true fullback position, that Sellers will earn that spot, that's not a bad rap so much on Rock as Sellers is a roughneck nasty blocker, bigger and stronger than Rock. My thinking is that if Sellers come to camp as a good citizen that he will in fact bump Rock out of f.b.! Some of you guys seem to think he can beat out Betts as second in rb? Very interesting because just maybe he can! I like Ladell but he just seems more confident covering kickoffs with Chad than running the ball. Two years is a long time to wait for a r.b. to realy show something, let alone three! Rocks attitude to adapt in camp to whatever position is offered to him may or not break him. I'd think he will get a legit shot at either position, but if one door looks like it's closing on him he must bust the door down at the other! My odds to make f.b. Sellers 65% to Rocks 35%. As 2nd rb Rock and Ladell 50-50! I would not expect Rocks 'heart' or Ladells draft status to decide this.
